## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfecto
*by T***H on December 5, 2023*

Demasiado bueno

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes the cap came red.
*by A***G on September 26, 2011*

I was hoping this cap came red and it did! I hooked this up to my Mallory 6AL CDI box, and it hooked up with the supplied wire connectors (included with the Mallory CDI box. The one thing to keep in mind with this distributor is that you have to use a CDI box. Both the Mallory and MSD boxes should come the correct wire connectors to properly hook it up. This distributor is still new to me and I haven't had any issues yet. I have heard that some of the older versions of the distributor had issues with rust, but I haven't heard anything about this exact setup. I suppose if rust is an issue I should find out pretty quickly being located on the coast and will post accordingly. As of today I am very pleased with the distributor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect distributor!
*by O***S on September 22, 2022*

This item installed perfectly and worked flawlessly. My only concern is the item (MSD 8485 Billet Distributor) is pictured with a red distributor cap. The item I received was gray. I really wanted the red cap to compliment my existing engine compartment.
